Good afternoon my steemer friends, first of all, let me thank all of you guys for your support, following and upvotes, it has been a long time since someone appreciate my work, i really was about to leave drawing, painting and sculpting forever as i was not able to build any carrier around it due to a curtain circumstances surrounded me after i had finished my study in the IT university, also the lack of time and motivation, but suddenly i found steemit, and after i started to post some of my old work and get rewarded by that, i had felt alive again, and do not get me wrong here, it is not all about money, if you love drawing and painting, you will know what feeling, it is a pleasure that someone admire your work and reward you for it, so now i can start to draw again, actually i have already sketched something in my previous post as i had some free time at work last week, so now it is time to bring back charcoal and dry brush techniques and get my hands dirty.
for the moment i will share an old commissioned portrait i did back in 2013 using charcoal, and as i am not a big fan of realism, i tent to leave part of the portrait unfinished ( well the portrait is not that realistic after all :-D), unfortunately i do not have a step by step photos as i was not expecting to post it here.
so once again thank you guys for this wonderful community and thank you steemit for providing an environment for artists to express their work in best way, i will keep posting my recent work and will continue drawing and painting,.... and you should too ;-)
